Of course it has changed since I started to write the post, but the Dow is up 475 and poised to cross 45,000 again. 45,000 is just 73 points from it's highest ever. It could reach that today or tommorrow, although large gains usually means down the next day.

the market hates uncertainty. Every time a piece resolves itself there is less uncertainty. The countries that really matter are below, from MarketWatch. Japan was big, market celebrating.

Terry Haines, an analyst and founder of the forecasting firm Pangaea Policy, said the Japan deal and other recent agreements are a clear plus for markets

“The fact of the deals is vastly more important today than details,” Haines said in a Wednesday note. The latest agreement and future pacts “narrow bands of uncertainty around trade and tariffs and therefore create more markets certainty,” and the deals “create momentum in markets anticipating even more deals and even more certainty.”

Tobin Marcus, head of policy and politics at Wolfe Research, said Japan’s new tariff rate of 15% could end up being the level faced by most U.S. trading partners, up from a prior baseline of 10%.

“The 15% rate in the Japan deal looks roughly like a new global tariff floor, especially with the administration characterizing it as a reward for major concessions from the Japanese side

Yes but CNN and MSNBC will have their 6:00pm inflation report gloom doom and misery on us.

[SaxxonWoods]

The Philippines deal has more to it. They are letting us expand our military presence, a win for us and them, a loss China.

As you look at the complete deals, you can see where they end up. The market is getting more predictive ability with each deal.
